Gimme the damn interweb in my car!

[Panda On Smack]

so like, when will someone invent something to give me the internet in my car?

I could get a laptop with a 3g card etc but thats messy.

reason i ask is i want to listen to winamp streams in my car, got a superb station i listen to all the time.

Theres this wonderful device, its been around for nearly 100 years, called radio.

 

[pcg79]

winamp streams.

 

[Xavier]

So record chunks of it while you sleep or something and bung it on an iPod?

 

[mank!]

I didn't realise you could stream internet radio via your average car radio. Your 10 year old BMW must rock!

thats what ive done so far, got a dension mp3 player in my motor so i can listen to chunks but i would be great to be able to listen to live streams.

Well, until Intel perfect WiMAX and start spitting wireless networks across the length of the UK I'd forget it and stick to ripping & burning. Just pretend it's live

would that be what your looking for perchance?


combine that with some bluetooth jigery pokery and bobs your uncle (and your dad)

 

[Xavier]

Bluetooth? To what? A phone? Have you looked at GPRS costs recently????

 

[nath]

Could do it via wap (of which you get loads of free minutes with that o2 deal in the other thread) at a cool 9.6kbit/s.

about £16 a month for 25 meg i believe


but then no one mentioned cost,they asked for an in car pc and a way to connect it :touch:

having said that if you got the 60gig hd model you could fit enough mp3's on it to travel from one end of the country to another without listening to the same song twice


(maybe)

 

[pcg79]

you could do that with an 20g ipod

 

[Xavier]

60Gb of tunes onto a 20Gb iPod? I'd just wait for the 60Gb iPod not long now.

 

[Bodhi]

iPod's are incredibly homosexual though.

 

[JBP|]

iPod's are incredibly homosexual though.

especially the neon pink ones

Better?

 

[Bodhi]

No, still looks shit. This on the other hand, looks fucking uber. It's the one I'd get.

 

[nath]

You have 0 taste. That's hideous - and I normally like Sony gear.

 

[Bodhi]

Pffft. Don't lecture me about taste when you have an Xbox. It entitles you 0 position to comment!

 

[mank!]

I don't think iPod's are particularly nice looking. A bit dull if anything. If that Sony mp3 player was all chrome instead of that black bit stuck on it, I'd ram it up my arse and cum fountains.

 

[nath]

True, the iPod is a bit dull looking but it is a fantastic piece of kit. The software on it is so utterly easy to use (the actual device software, I've not tried iTunes). Tbh, if I didn't think MP3's were utter toss and used public transport, I'd probably buy one.

 

[Munkey]

the only problem with such a large music collection, i have 16 gigs on mine atm, is that it takes ages to scroll through. At least with my old 64mb one i knew what i had on it and what was coming next.

Yes, yes, i know you can set a playlist but its just not the same!
